She did it, and much to the disappointment of the Howard Feinman and other MSNBC wonks, Hillary is still in the race. I knew that Obama's luster would start to oxidize, even with every pundit and politico polishing his brass daily. The commentators looked forlorn as their paper Messiah folded like an origami crane in the face of the Clinton machine.

Clinton still has a serious numbers problem, she will need to wrestle super-delegates from Obama's camp. She needs to win Pennsylvania, and post well in North Carolina as well. Leave it to Mr. Feinman to tell a manic Christ Matthews that she could still lose Pennsylvania. He sounded hopeful about her eventual loss as did many commentators


Obama now needs to finish this race, and he can, but it's going to require substantive policy statements. It's going to require more than agreeing with what Hillary says in a debate and then saying "hope" at the end his sentence if he wants to lock up the win.
